EMERGENCY MESSAGE RELAY
First Claim
1. A method for operating a portable wireless device having at least one wireless interface, processing circuitry, and a user interface, the method comprising:
- determining an emergency message condition;
preparing at least one emergency message by the processing circuitry based upon the emergency message direction;
repeatedly transmitting the at least one emergency message via the at least one wireless interface; and
upon meeting a termination criteria, ceasing repeatedly transmitting the at least one emergency message via the at least one wireless interface.

Abstract
A wireless device receives a first emergency message in a first communication protocol via a first wireless interface of the plurality of wireless interfaces from a transmitting wireless device, translates the first emergency message in the first communication protocol to a second emergency message in a second communication protocol, and transmits the second emergency message via a second wireless interface of the plurality of wireless interfaces to a network infrastructure. A wireless device requesting emergency service prepares one or more emergency messages based upon an emergency message direction received from a user, repeatedly transmits the at least one emergency message via one or more available wireless interfaces. Upon meeting a termination criteria, the wireless device ceases repeatedly transmitting the at least one emergency message via the at least one wireless interface.
